"It takes courage to enter into the experience of the other, or the enemy, or the pain and complication of others ... But the refusal to try is a kind of despair, a giving up on the idea of common humanity or the reality of a shared fate." - @sarazarrbooks

It's not a ban, they said.

It just on another shelf, they said.

But the truth about the ban on @TheAmandaGorman's book—as is often the case with book banners—was something quite different:

An elaborate—& daunting—process for elementary school children simply to access a poem.
